If you do dev on windows you should mostly use WSL.
- BeetleB 2y agoI'm a Linux guy. Have had that as my primary OS for over twenty years. At work, though, I've been doing dev work primarily in Windows for over a decade. Never needed WSL. (Maybe because I use Emacs? I dunno)
- billfruit 2y agoEmacs suffers some on windows too, because it also depends on external utilities for some functionality. For example grep-find depends on external grep program which is not bundles in, and on windows, the operation will simply fail.
- billfruit 2y agoI think experienced windows devs would use and recommend windows libs/userland over WSL. May because WSL becomes a huge dependency and many windows boxes don't have it installed, whereas windows userland is always available.
